Brendan begins the Trumpet!

Today Brendan made a trip to the music store to pick out his very own trumpet!

We had our first private lesson today consisting of learning the basic scale notes and finger positions.

Brendan is very excited! Both he and his brother Roman chose to learn the trumpet together and will be playing in the middle school band this year.

Weekend at the Cabin!

This weekend Brendan wanted to spend at the family cabin near the lake as sort of a late family birthday party.

After we arrived, everyone hurried to "claim their territory". Brendan however, decided he wanted to stay outside in the tent with his brother Roman.

During the day, Brendan helped plan several games and picked all his favorite foods leading up to a little party before we departed.

Time to go. Brendan tossed on his new headphones to relax for the ride home in the back of Dads truck.

Happy Birthday Brendan!

Woke up early this morning and went out to breakfast at IHOP, after which he was able to go birthday shopping and pick up supplies for a weekend at the Cabin full of games, parties, s'mores, and fun!
